(10 Jul 2013, 12:05 pm)Chris Ah Derwent Coaches. It was the luck of the draw whether or not it made it up the bank and the fare was as much or as little as you liked!

That made me laugh.

As a teen I used to often get the bus from Hole-in-the-Wall to Winlaton. Three buses came at more or less the same time including the Derwent. Sometimes, I didn't have the full 15p required for my bus-fare. I knew the drivers at Northern would have none of it, so I used to wait for Derwent with my 12p in hand while preparing my sob story for the driver. It always worked!

I'm telling you, if they existed today and had a Facebook page, everyone would be complementing the customer service skills of the drivers. Big Grin
